Chapter 243 Jeremy's Pride
"Hey? Amber?" Seeing Amber distracted, Jeremy raised his hand and waved in front of her.
Amber came to her senses and forced a smile. "What's wrong?"
"What were you thinking just now?" Jeremy looked at her and asked.
Amber was about to say something but replied with a smile in the end, "Nothing. Let's go in. I'm
hungry."
"Ok." Jeremy nodded in agreement.
Amber walked forward.
"Wait." Jeremy stopped her. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Amber blinked in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"Hold my arm." Jeremy nudged her gently with his arm.
Amber was amused. "Okay, my handsome boy."
Jeremy blushed and took her into the restaurant.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they came to the reserved place.
As soon as she sat down, Amber heard a female called her with anger next door. "Amber!"
Amber raised her eyebrows and turned to have a look. It was Makenna, who was staring at her with
resentment. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "This world is so small."
"Amber, let's go to another restaurant." Jeremy didn't expect Makenna to be in this restaurant, so he
said with a poke face.
Amber shook her head. "No, we'll be here. There's no reason for us to leave because of seeing
someone you don't like."
"But I'm afraid that you'll be upset." Jeremy sighed.
Amber smiled. "No, I'm not the one who'll be upset."
As she spoke, she glanced at Makenna.
Makenna held the knife and fork in both hands and poked the plate with a creaking sound, as if the
plate was Amber. She was only focused on venting her anger, so she was not in the mood to eat.
Jeremy knew that Amber insisted to stay here only to displease Makenna, so he didn't say anything
else and sat down again.
At this time, Jared came back and saw Jeremy and Amber at the next table. He was quite surprised.
Amber was here too!
And there was another man beside her.
Last time it was Hayden, this time Jeremy. Would it be Cole next time?
She really didn't lack men to accompany her!
Jared seemed to be sulking as he sat opposite Makenna.
"Jared, you finished answering the phone?" Makenna put down the knife and fork in her hand and got
up, trying to help him sit down.
However, Jared refused. He put his crutch aside and sat down by the support of pressing on the edge
of the table.
Makenna's hand was awkwardly hanging in midair.
But soon, she put down her hand calmly and returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
Jared was still so indifferent to her.
She had thought that the reason why he agreed to come out was that he was willing to make peace
with her, but it seemed that she was wrong.
Beside them, Amber was not surprised to see Jared.
After all, Makenna was here, so it was all predictable.
Amber didn't intend to say hello to Jared, but silently drank the water on the table.
However, Jeremy stole a few glances at Jared, with imperceptible jealousy and inferiority complex in
his eyes.
Yes, jealousy and inferiority complex.
He was now a model with fame and fortune; there was no reason for him to be jealous of Jared, even if
Jared was much richer than him.
But he still couldn't control himself, because Jared was the only person that Amber had ever loved.
As for being self-abased...
Jeremy gave himself a wry smile. He rotated the glass in his hand and lowered his gaze to cover the
distress in his eyes.
Everyone said that he had a good personality and was very gentle, but no one knew that it was not his
real personality. His real personality was dark and reserved, not gentle at all.
His gentleness was just an imitation of Jared's!
Because when he was in his teens, Amber often told Jeremy how gentle and good-tempered the boy
she loved was. He was jealous of the boy she loved but envied him at the same time. From then on, he
deliberately disguised his real personality and imitated the boy she mentioned in order to draw her
attention back from the boy.
But he failed. She only cared about that boy. No matter how hard he try, he was still not as good as the
boy in her heart.
Yes, the gentle and good-tempered boy was Jared.
He didn't know why Jared had changed so much that he didn't look as gentle as he used to be. But
despite of that, when he stood in front of Jared, he still felt disheartened, because no matter what, he
couldn't deny that he was just a copycat.
"Jeremy." Amber's voice suddenly arose, interrupting Jeremy's thoughts.
He smiled gently. "Yes?"
"What's wrong with you? The dishes are ready. I've called you a few times, but you didn't respond.
What are you thinking about?" Amber poured him a glass of juice and asked.
Jeremy took it and said, "I'm thinking about the work following."
"By the way, you said the day before yesterday that you have a runway show in South Riverside,
right?" Amber asked as she took a bite.
Jeremy nodded, "Yes. Are you interested? I can give you tickets."
"Yes, I'm. I haven't seen you walk on the runway. But I don't know whether I'll be available by then."
Amber replied.
At the table next to them, Jared saw the two of them chatting happily. His face fell. Anyone could sense
his sullenness.
Makenna, on the opposite side, noticed this. Her teeth were clenched tightly.
She glanced at Amber, and then immediately spoke, drawing Jared's attention over. "Jared, it's been
five days. Are you still angry with me?"
Jared looked down and said lightly, "I'm not angry."
"But my father said that day that you were angry because of my behavior at the banquet, so..."
"That's just his guess." Jared pursed his lips and interrupted her.
Makenna was stunned.
He was not angry because she had wronged Amber at the banquet? Then why on earth did he
suddenly become aloof to her?
Could it be that he had discovered what she had done?
But that was not right either. If he had discovered, he would have settled accounts with her at an earlier
time. He wouldn't have endured it until now?
Makenna bit her lower lip, feeling restless. "Jared, tell me what I've done wrong. You didn't say
anything. I am scared."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Jared's heart suddenly contracted, and then he couldn't help feeling sorry for her. He wanted to comfort
her.
But he knew very well that he didn't care about her and didn't want to comfort her, but there was a
voice in his mind urging him to do it as soon as possible.
Jared clenched his fists tightly and didn't want to follow.
However, his heart was struck by a pang, like being pricked with a thick needle again and again,
making his breath ragged and his face pale.
The next second, he suddenly lay on the table, knocking over the cup, which rolled around the table,
fell to the ground, and broke it into pieces.
The crisp cracking sound attracted the attention of the whole restaurant.
Amber frowned and looked at Jared in confusion.
What's wrong with him?
"Jared, what's wrong?" Makenna quickly got up and went to Jared to check on him.
The manager of the restaurant also scurried over quickly. "What's the matter?"
"I don't know. My fiancé was suddenly like this." Makenna was about to cry.
Jeremy held his head and said, "Amber, is he having a heart attack or what?"
